Avien quickly dived underwater as he was reigned speechless. Euphoria finally had the space to look away, her heart raced as she started spouting apologies to Avien who was still underwater.
"I didn't mean to, I'm so sorry, I swear I didn't see anything, I saw something but....not everything, that counts doesn't it?"
Euphoria could hear Avien's laugh echo underwater and it made her blush more.
"I'm sure you saw something Euphoria because you definitely stared at it"
Euphoria almost fainted out of embarrassment at that moment, it was very perverted to stare at someone's private areas....but it wasn't her fault if her eyes recognized attractive things when it saw it.
Avien finally came out of the water with only the upper part of his body visible, he wanted to invite Euphoria in because he termed it would be rude to keep her standing on the shore.
"You can come in if you want to"
Euphoria took a sneak peak at him and hurriedly closed her eyes again, Avien found her flustered expression especially.
"I would like to but you're still half naked"
"Well I am swimming so....."
Euphoria turned to Avien realizing he enjoyed taunting her, she tried hard not to let her gaze trail downwards again.
"Don't you have scales i know dragon bloods can develop scales"
Avien nodded and slowly pulled Euphoria by her wrist into the water with his eyes trying to avoid her cleavage.
"I don't think that's a good idea"
Euphoria creased her forehead...she didn't understand what Avien meant but before she could ask he took the hint and responded.
"My scales are a bit different from the things you've heard about, I don't want to scare you"
Euphoria's face curved into a smile at his thoughtfulness, Avien returned the smile with a smirk and he swung his talons in the water enjoying the ripples.
"You look....strange"
Avien ducked his head to the side with a smirk on his face, of course he'd look strange when he had the blood of a vampire and a dragon-demon running through his veins.
"Nice observation princess"
Euphoria rolled her eyes at his sarcasm.
"You look strange in a good way, a bit scary and very intimidating but it's breathtaking"
Avien could get that her tone portrayed nothing but seriousness still he felt elated to know that his 'wife' found his transformation breathtaking.
"You too Euphoria"
It seemed Euphoria didn't expect that coming but just as he was about to say something his eyes landed on the fabric of her dress sticking very closely to her body making her figure outline very obvious with her cleavage practically gaining his attention, her scent was the only thing he could get a grasp of and like a flick of a switch his body temperature changed.
Euphoria felt Avien's intense gaze on her, she felt bare to his stare as she watched his Adam's apple move up and down...suddenly she started feeling hot even though the lake was cool.
"I think you should get going back inside"
Avien's voice turned raspy and serious as he averted his gaze from Euphoria who was taken aback at the change of his tone.
"What's the problem i---------"
There was still no response as Avien ducked his head underwater and swam further away from her.
"Avien come out, what's the problem?"
Euphoria's mouth twitched with anger, they were having a good time going and just when she felt they had started to connect he managed to anger her again, she attempted swimming further to get to him but he kept pushing himself away to where the current started getting stronger unabling Euphoria to swim further, Euphoria balled her fist frustratingly and swam out of the lake....now standing on the ground by the edge she looked across and saw Avien emerging from the water but he still backed her obviously refusing to spare her a glance.
Euphoria huffed and finally walked out on him slamming the entrance gate in the process.
The guard standing outside jumped away as he noticed the princess's expression on coming out, she went inside very giddy but it seemed things didn't go too well, he tried to approach her to make sure she was alright because even though his highness might have angered her he wouldn't take it lightly if anything happened to the princess.
"Princess are you alright?"
Euphoria's head snapped towards the guard asking that question.... clearly if he had eyes he would see that she wasn't alright, she felt like strangling something or someone at that point but based on how she was raised she knew it was wrong to transfer her aggression on someone who hadn't wronged her so she turned to the guard and forced a smile and left to locate her chambers, as she reached her chamber walls she met Orax standing beside her door.
Orax immediately followed Euphoria inside as she saw her gloomy expression.
"Did something happen between you and the Prince milady?"
Euphoria's raging eyes were enough to tell Orax that something happened so she slowly stood beside Euphoria trying to calm the princess down and resolve what so ever situation her and the Prince was going through.
Euphoria blurted everything that happened to Orax as if she was competing in a speed talking competition.
Orax could guess the reason for his highness's actions but she believed it would be better if he explained it to her instead.
"Should I give him a piece of my mind, scold him, skin him alive maybe"
Euphoria's eyes gleamed mischievously as she glanced at Orax who had an alarmed expression on her face till Euphoria busted into a loud fit of laughter surprising Orax.
"Calm down Orax I was only messing with you about skinning the Prince alive, I'm pissed off with him but I can't do that"
Orax bursted out into a fit of laughter too bringing a towel for Euphoria to use and dry the water off her body and change into a night dress afterwards.
"I'm elated at your sense of humor princess"
Euphoria chuckled practicing a mock bow and making clapping noises for herself but she stopped halfway and inched closer near Orax.
"Look, I've been meaning to apologize to you I didn't make a good first impression and kind of threatened you because I felt threatened, I'm sorry"
Orax could feel the warmth and sincerity in Euphoria's apology and she nodded seemingly, Euphoria also nodded and they both shared a huge grin.
Euphoria and Orax spent a lot of time talking till Euphoria forgot that she was fuming mad minutes ago but they didn't have any knowledge that someone's ear was glued to the door intently listening to their conversation.
